Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a network protocol that provides network administrators with
the ability to monitor the status of the Router and receive notification of any critical events as they occur on the
network. The Router supports SNMP v1/v2c and all relevant Management Information Base II (MIBII) groups. The
Router replies to SNMP Get commands for MIBII via any LAN (local) interface and supports a custom MIB for
generating trap messages.
